How Can We Miss Him If He Won't Go Away?

“If the Republican Party on Capitol Hill gets behind the president on his plans and not theirs, it will all be sweetness and light, be one big happy family,” Bannon said in an interview with the Washington Post.

Bannon said he did not expect that rosy vision to come to pass at any point soon, though: “No administration in history has been so divided among itself about the direction about where it should go.”

Honestly, you can't slip a pice of paper between Bannon and Trump (no administration in history? Do they always have to leap to the extreme?). And Trump is the narcissist? Bannon thinks there's only one right way to think: his! And if everybody just lined up with him, how much happier they would be!

I think the pundits misunderstood that declaration of "WAR!" that Breitbart issued.
